From Skepticism to Faith: A Journey of Dedication

Devotional

Day 1: The Power of Surrender

In our journey of faith, there comes a point where we must surrender all our doubts, questions, and uncertainties to God. This surrender is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our trust in God's wisdom and understanding. It is in this surrender that we find clarity and purpose in our lives ([03:39]).

Bible Passage: Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Reflection: Reflect on a time when you surrendered a significant doubt or question to God. How did this act of surrender impact your faith journey?

Day 2: The Influence of Faith

Our faith has the power to influence not only our lives but also the lives of those around us. Through our faith, we can impact millions of people, spreading the message of Christ and bringing hope to those in need ([04:14]).

Bible Passage: Matthew 5:14-16 - "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Reflection: How has your faith influenced others around you? What steps can you take to further spread the message of Christ in your community?

Day 3: Christ at the Center

Keeping Christ at the center of our lives is crucial in our faith journey. It is through Christ that we gain a deep understanding and appreciation of God's love for us. This understanding guides our actions and decisions, shaping our lives in a way that glorifies God ([04:48]).

Bible Passage: Colossians 1:17 - "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Reflection: How do you keep Christ at the center of your life? What changes can you make to ensure that Christ remains the focus of your faith journey?

Day 4: Pursuit of Excellence

In all our endeavors, whether in the field of philosophy, architecture, music, art, or education, we should strive for excellence. This pursuit of excellence is not for our own glory, but for the glory of God. It is a testament to our faith and dedication to God ([05:21]).

Bible Passage: Colossians 3:23-24 - "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

Reflection: How does your pursuit of excellence in your field reflect your faith in God? How can you use your skills and talents to glorify God?

Day 5: The Call to Evangelize

As followers of Christ, we are called to spread the Good News. This call to evangelize is not just a responsibility, but a privilege. It is through evangelism that we can bring hope and salvation to the world ([06:00]).

Bible Passage: Mark 16:15 - "He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'"

Reflection: How are you responding to the call to evangelize? What steps can you take to share the Good News with those around you?

Sermon Summary

In my sermon, I shared my personal journey of faith and how I came to dedicate my life to spreading the Gospel. I was born into a family of high social standing and was exposed to various ideologies from a young age. However, I was not born into a Christian family and did not have a Christian background. I was a skeptic and found it difficult to believe in God. I was drawn to philosophy, debate, and logic, and I considered Christianity to be an outdated belief system. However, at the age of 17, I challenged God to answer all my questions and doubts. If He truly existed and could provide me with the answers, I promised to dedicate my life to spreading His word and helping others find answers to their questions.
